Fading light dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky,
Gleaming bright.
From afar drawing nigh,
Falls the night.

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, From the hills,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.

Then good night, Peaceful night,
Till the light of the dawn
Shineth bright,
God is near, do not fear,
Friend, good night.

Earned The Medal of Honor During World War I For heroism

Died:August

Sergeant
Hatler earned the Medal of Honor for heroism near Pouilly,
France, during intense assaults upon enemy positions. When
volunteers were called for to secure information as to the
enemy's position on the opposite bank of the Meuse River,
Sergeant Hatler was the first to offer his services for this
dangerous mission. Swimming across the river, he succeeded in
reaching the German lines, after another soldier (Sergeant David
Barkeley), who had started with him, had been seized with cramps
and drowned in midstream. Alone he carefully and courageously
reconnoitered the enemy's positions, which were held in force,
and again successfully swam the river, bringing back information
of great value.
